Barnier doesn't confirm transition deal end point
European Union's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier is still not announcing how long a transitional period can be extended until.
It's being touted as December 2022 and is the final part of the withdrawal deal with the UK but it's not being confirmed by the EU.
Members of Parliament in the UK are unhappy with the withdrawal deal as it outlines a so called backstop which is a safety net agreement for if the EU and the UK can't come to an agreement on a future relationship.
The backstop essentially keeps the UK in a deal which means that it's aligned with the same customs structures as the EU.
Brussels is currently drawing up a political declaration to launch the negotiations on the UK and the EU's relationship after the transition period ends.
It's all set to be agreed by EU leaders in Brussels on Sunday but could be voted down by the British parliament.
Michel Barnier, the EU's chief Brexit negotator has indicated there is no room to renegotiate the deal on the table.

Devotees continue to obstruct entry of women at Indian temple
In the Indian state of Kerala, thousands of male devotees have continued to obstruct the entry of women into an 800-year-old temple.
Earlier this year, the country's highest court ruled that a centuries old tradition that keeps women of menstruating age out is a violation of the fundamental rights of women. Devotees claim that preventing the entry of women is essential since the temple's chief deity is celibate.
